RT 1 - emacs keyboard introduction

The first video for the 2011 Research Tools (ESCI 895-03) at the University of New Hampshire in the Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping (CCOM). The goal of this video is introduce you to using just the keyboard for working inside the GNU Emacs text editor. This video goes along with lectures 7 and 8.

The research tools website is: http://vislab-ccom.unh.edu/~schwehr/rt/

For those interested in how this was captured: This video was captured with iShowU HD on a MacBook Air with Mac OSX 10.7. GNU Emacs 23 was running inside a VMWare Fusion 3.1.3 instance of Ubuntu 11.04 in 32bit mode. I used a plantronics USB-Adaptor02 for the audio and the headset that comes with Dragon Dictate for the Mac.

Great introduction. I've been using Emacs for a while now, but I always forget some of the basics. I did not see the text file you created in this video available on the class website, will you be providing it for download? It will make a great reference/cheat sheet.
